Lunit INSIGHT DBT is a computer-assisted detection and diagnosis (CADe/x) software intended to be used concurrently by interpreting physicians to aid in the detection and characterization of suspected lesions for breast cancer in digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) exams from compatible DBT systems. Through the analysis. the regions of soft tissue lesions and calcifications are marked with an abnormality score indicating the likelihood of the presence of malignancy for each lesion. Lunit INSIGHT DBT uses screening mammograms of the female population.

Lunit INSIGHT DBT is not intended as a replacement for a complete interpreting physician's review or their clinical judgment that takes into account other relevant information from the image or patient history.

Device Description

Lunit INSIGHT DBT is a computer-assisted detection/diagnosis (CADe/x) software as a medical device that provides information about the presence, location and characteristics of lesions suspicious for breast cancer to assist interpreting physicians in making diagnostic decisions when reading digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) images. The software automatically analyzes digital breast tomosynthesis slices via artificial intelligence technology that has been trained via deep learning.

For each DBT case, Lunit INSIGHT DBT generates an artificial intelligence analysis results that include the lesion type, location, lesion-level case-level score, and outline of the regions suspected of breast cancer. This peripheral information intends to augment the physician's workflow to better aid in detection and diagnosis of breast cancer.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device, Lunit INSIGHT DBT, meets them, based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Performance MetricAcceptance CriteriaReported Device PerformanceStatistical Significance / Comment
Standalone Performance
AUROC> 0.903 (mean AUROC of predicate device K211678)0.928 (95% Cl: 0.917 - 0.939)p < 0.0001 (exceeded criteria)
Clinical Assessment (MRMC Study with CAD Assistance)
Patient-level LOS AUROCCAD-assisted performance superior to CAD-unassisted performance with statistical significanceCAD-unassisted AUROC: 0.897 (95% Cl 0.858 - 0.936)CAD-assisted AUROC: 0.915 (95% Cl: 0.874 - 0.955)Inter-test difference: 0.017 (95% Cl: 0.000 - 0.034, P = 0.0498) - met criteria.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Standalone Performance Test Set: 2,202 DBT exams (1,100 negative/benign, 1,102 cancer cases).
    • Data Provenance: Collected at multiple imaging facilities in the US. The data was collected consecutively.
  • Clinical Assessment (MRMC) Test Set: 258 DBT exams (65 cancer cases, 193 non-cancer cases, comprising 128 normal and 65 benign cases).
    • Data Provenance: Acquired from US clinical centers.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

  • Standalone Performance Test Set: The text states ground truth localization was "derived based on the radiologic review and annotation by multiple MQSA qualified ground truthers." The exact number of experts is not specified.
    • Qualifications: "MQSA qualified ground truthers."
  • Clinical Assessment (MRMC) Test Set: The ground truth for the cases used in the MRMC study is implicitly established by the case classification (cancer vs. non-cancer). It's not explicitly stated how many experts established the underlying ground truth for these 258 cases, beyond the radiologists participating in the MRMC study itself. The readers for the MRMC study were "a total of 15 MQSA qualified and US board-certified radiologists."

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Standalone Performance Test Set: Ground truth was established through "binary classification of each case based on clinical supporting data, particularly pathology reports for cancer and biopsy-proven benign cases, followed by localization which was derived based on the radiologic review and annotation by multiple MQSA qualified ground truthers." This suggests an expert consensus/review process for localization, likely involving reconciliation or multiple reads. The specific type of adjudication (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) is not explicitly detailed.
  • Clinical Assessment (MRMC) Test Set: The ground truth for the MRMC study seems to rely on the pre-established classification of cases (cancer/non-cancer) based on clinical and pathological data. The radiologists in the MRMC study were evaluating cases against this existing ground truth, not establishing it in an adjudicated reading session.

5. Was a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Done? If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs. without AI assistance?

  • Yes, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done.
  • Effect Size of Improvement:
    • CAD-unassisted AUROC: 0.897
    • CAD-assisted AUROC: 0.915
    • Inter-test difference (effect size): 0.017 (Absolute difference in AUROC). This indicates an improvement in AUROC of 0.017 when radiologists were assisted by Lunit INSIGHT DBT. The p-value of 0.0498 indicates this improvement was statistically significant.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • Yes, a standalone performance study was done.
    • Performance: AUROC of 0.928 (95% Cl: 0.917 - 0.939).

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Standalone Performance and Clinical Assessment Test Sets: The ground truth was established primarily through clinical supporting data, specifically pathology reports for cancer and biopsy-proven benign cases, further supplemented by radiologic review and annotation by MQSA qualified ground truthers for localization. This can be categorized as a combination of pathology and expert consensus/review.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • The document states that the "dataset used in the standalone performance test was independent from the dataset used for development of the artificial intelligence algorithm." However, it does not specify the sample size of the training set used for the development of Lunit INSIGHT DBT.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • The document mentions that the training dataset was separate from the test dataset. While it details how the ground truth was established for the test set (pathology, biopsy, radiologic review/annotation), it does not explicitly describe how the ground truth was established for the training set. Being a deep learning model, it's highly probable the training data also relied on verified diagnoses, likely similarly derived from pathology/biopsy given the nature of CADe/x devices for breast cancer.

6. Comparison with Predicate Device

The substantial equivalence table above summarizes the similarities and differences between Lunit INSIGHT DBT and its predicate device, Lunit INSIGHT MMG (K211678). Both devices use artificial intelligence technologies and deep learning techniques to fulfill its intended purpose to detect and characterize lesions suspected of breast cancer. The devices differ in its input file for analysis where Lunit INSIGHT DBT requires its predicate analyzes FFDM's. Outputs of both devices augments the interpreting physicians in the diagnosis of asymptomatic patients.

7. Performance Data

7.1. Non-clinical Testing Summary

Software Verification and Validation

Lunit INSIGHT DBT is determined as Moderate level of Concern since a malfunction of, or a latent design flaw in, the software could result in Minor injury. Software was verified through software integration test and software system test. Based on results of verification, Lunit INSIGHT DBT demonstrated that it fulfilled the software requirements.

Standalone Performance Testing

A standalone performance study of the Lunit INSIGHT DBT assessed the detection performance of the artificial intelligence algorithm for breast cancer within DBT exams.

Total of 2,202 DBT exams of female adults were collected at multiple imaging facilities in the US using Hologic and GE Healthcare equipment. The data was collected consecutively with the following information: patient information, original radiology report, follow-up biopsy and pathology data, and further imaging diagnostic workup. The dataset consisted of 1,100 negative and benign cases, and 1,102 cancer cases. In terms of ethnicity and race, the cases were composed of White, American Indian, African, Asian, and other races, and representative of the general US population. The standalone performance of the Lunit INSIGHT DBT was examined by comparing the analysis results with the reference standards. The reference standards were established through binary classification of each case based on clinical supporting data, particularly pathology reports for cancer and biopsy-proven benign cases, followed by localization which was derived based on the radiologic review and annotation by multiple MQSA qualified ground truthers. The dataset used in the standalone performance test was independent from the dataset used for development of the artificial intelligence algorithm. For generalizability, various subgroup analyses were conducted on the collected dataset including image/radiologic characteristics (e.g. modality manufacturer, slice thickness), demographic information (e.g., age, race), and clinically relevant confounders (e.g. breast cancer type),

Page 5/6

Standalone Performance Results

The primary endpoint was to demonstrate AUROC in standalone performance greater than 0.903, the mean AUROC of the predicate device (K211678). The subject device's AUROC in the standalone performance analysis was 0.928 (95% Cl: 0.917 - 0.939) with statistical significance (p < 0.0001), which exceeded the acceptance criteria of the primary endpoint.

7.2. Clinical Assessment Summary

Clinical performance assessment was conducted to evaluate effectiveness of Lunit INSIGHT DBT in the assistance of detection and diagnosis of breast cancer during DBT exam interpretation. A retrospective, multi-reader multicase (MRMC) study was conducted comparing the reading panel's interpretation performance with and without the use of the Lunit INSIGHT DBT software during the DBT exam interpretation. During the study, every reading panel member, a total of 15 MQSA qualified and US board-certified radiologists, performed interpretation and completed reading sessions, CAD unassisted and CAD assisted, independently using a setting similar to a screening procedure in the US.

Clinical Assessment Primary Objective

The primary objective of the clinical performance assessment was to evaluate the effectiveness of Lunit INSIGHT DBT by comparing the clinical performance of radiologists with CAD and without CAD assistance. If the performance with CAD assistance is superior to that of without CAD assistance with statistical significance, the study was considered to be successful.

Clinical Assessment Data Description

Total of 258 DBT exams were acquired from US clinical centers and were collected using Hologic and GE Healthcare equipment. 65 were cancer cases and 193 were non-cancer cases (128 normal and 65 benign cases).

Clinical Assessment Results

The primary endpoint result of the study was comparison of patient-level Level of Suspicion (LOS) area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve between CAD-assisted interpretation. AUROC for CAD-unassisted interpretation was 0.897 (95% Cl 0.858 - 0.936), when that of CAD-assisted interpretation was 0.915 (95% Cl: 0.874 - 0.955) with inter-test difference of 0.017 (95%: Cl 0.000 - 0.034, P = 0.0498).

8. Assessment of Benefit-Risk, General Safety and Effectiveness

Risk management of the subject device is conducted via hazard analysis which identifies and mitigates existing and potential hazards. Hazards were controlled throughout the software lifecycle with control measures with regards to software development, verification, and validation. Furthermore, labeling information consists of instructions for use with necessary cautionary statements for safe and effective use of the software. Lunit finds the use of the software has a positive balance in terms of probable benefits versus foreseeable and identified risks.

9. Conclusion

Lunit INSIGHT DBT is substantially equivalent to Lunit INSIGHT MMG because they are identical with regards to intended use and share similar technological or performance characteristics. The minor differences in technological characteristics do not alter the intended use of the device and do not raise new questions or safety and effectiveness. In addition, non-clinical and clinical testing results demonstrate that the Lunit INSIGHT DBT is as safe and effective as the predicate Lunit INSIGHT MMG. Thus, the substantial equivalence has been demonstrated.
